A teenage girl collapsed and died 20 minutes after colouring her hair, according to her friend.
Tabatha McCourt, 17, was enjoying a quiet night-in watching the ‘X Factor’ live show at her best friend’s house in Airdrie, Lanarkshire, when tragedy hit.
According to friend Heather Goodhall, 20 minutes after applying the dye, she began pulling the foils out of her hair in agony and vomiting before collapsing.
Speaking about the ordeal to the Scottish Daily Record, Miss Goodhall said: “She started shouting, ‘No, no’, and my mum's boyfriend held her and tried to calm her down.
